Re: 2003 taurur wagon	Sign In

how is it attached?

is it bolted or is it a tapered stud that goes into the spindle with a pinch bolt?

if its a tapered stud, you may need to slightly pry the opening up a little with a screw driver

Maybe if I attach it first up top then I may be able to pry the spindle down till it slips in.Maybe?

Thanks but I answered my own question.
It almost fell right into place after bolting it on up top.

Check with your local dealer for a recall on the springs. All you need to do is have them run your VIN and they can tell you if any recalls are open. Or, if you don't care to post the 17 digit Vin here, I can check for you. If it is on a recall, Ford will pay you for the parts and labor.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
